STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 507,093, dated October 24, 1893.

r Application filed January 3l. 1893. Serial No. 460,340. (No model.)

To all whom if mayconccrn:

Be it known that I, ALBERT W. ALGER, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to heating stoves and has for its object to provide a stove of this class, embodying certain constructions Whereby to effect a great economy in fuel and yet obtain a greatly increased heat radiation. It also has for its object to provide a stove of this character, simple and cheap in its construction, wllich will eectually serve for the desired purpose and in which the several parts are so arranged as to be readily detachable, whereby worn out sections can be replaced by new ones.

With other minor objects in view all of which will hereinafter fully appear myinvention consists in the peculiar combination and novel arrangement of parts all of which will be fully described in the specification and pointed out in the claims reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved stove. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on the line 3-3 Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a similar view thereof on the line 1C-4. Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of the internal heat deiiecting devices hereinafter speciically referred to, and Fig. 6 is an inverted plan View of the crown fiue or top section.

Referring to the drawings A indicates the l shell or body portion of my improved stove constructed of any suitable metal, and formed preferably cylindrical in shape it being obvious however, that it may be square, oblon g or of any other desired form. The body A has open ends a. a and the front portion thereof has a depending enlargement (t2 which forms the Iire pot, extends a short distance rearward and communicates with the hollow cylindrical body portion.

B B indicate the front and rear legs or supports, connected to bands b b which pass around the front and rear ends of the body Aas most clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawlugs.

Disposed within the body A is a heat radiating device, which consists of alongitudinal tube C and a series of transverse tubes C, the longitudinal tube extending from end to end of the body while the transverse tubes C extend to near the sides of the body (see Fig. 3). These transverse tubes O communicate with a series of heat discharge openings a8 in the sides of the body A, they being connected with such openings by means of the short iiue sections D, which project into the transverse tubes C', and to provide for smoke tight joints each of the flue sections has a reduced portion d which fits into the tube section C', a shoulder d which abuts the end of such section, an enlarged portion d2 which passes through the heat aperture a3 in the body A, and an annular flange d3 which seats over the outer edge of such aperture as shown.

As a further means of rendering the several joints smoke tight asbestus or other fire proof packing rings E are interposed between the ange d3 and the body A and the shoulder d and the edges of the tubes C.

As a simple and effective means for securing the internal heat radiator to the body, I form the detachable fluesections D with transverse bars D D2 which have apertures d5 through which pass the securing bolts F and which are securely held by the tightening nuts f which fit the threaded ends f of the bolts as clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. While I have shown but three sets of transverse heat tubes and openings,it is manifest that a greater or less number may be used if desired.

G indicates the telescopic front section, which in transverse section is of a form similarto the front portion of the body (see Fig. 4) the side Iianges g extending up to the inner end of the iire pot section of the body, the front g of the front section being slightly larger than the body so as to form a lap iiange g2. The upper portion of the front has an opening H formed with a rearward tubular extension which projects over the front end of the longitudinal radiating tube C. Upon flanges j secured to the sides g of the front section G is mounted the grate section J, below which is formed the ash pity", which extends beyond the front of such section G, and forms the hearth through which draft is obtained, and such hearth has an adjustable cover plate t7'2 as shown.

IOI)

K indicates the feed door,

The rear end of the stove is formed of a telescopic section L centrally apertured and formed with an inwardly extending tubular member Z which fits into the rear end of the longitudinal radiating tube C and with an annular rim or flange Z which tits snugly into the body portion,the end proper also lapping the end of the body to form a smoke tight Joint. The upper face of the rim Z has an aperture Z2 which registers with the smoke outlet A2 in the rear end of the top of shell (see Fig. 2).

To prevent a possible escape of smoke at the front end of the longitudinal tube C I have provided an extra tube GX flanged atits outer end, its inner end slipping into the front end of' such tube C; this tube section GrX also s erves the purpose of hiding the nearly pro Jecting end of the said tube C, making as it werea neater finish at this part.

In operation fuel is fed through the door K to the iirebox, and the products of combustion are carried rearward into the body or shell around the interior radiator, and escape out through the smoke exit A2. .l To provide means for thoroughly distri-buting the'heat, in the shellA, a seriesof deliector' plates M is employed which `in practice is secured at intervals on the longitudinal tube C, three being shown in the drawings",but a less gr greater n umher may be employed if deslre Each of the deectorplates has a cutaway portion forming heat passages m such passages' being arranged alternately, i. e., at the bottom of the front and rear platesand at the topof the center plate. By thus arranging thedeliector plates it will be readily seen that I thehe'at and products of combustionV are thoroughly disseminated within the shell or' body A, such heat products passing up from the I re box after passing. `around the front end of the tube C and the front laterals C escaping under the front plate M, then up over the middle plate M, and then under the rear plate, into the rear part of the body A, (see arrows in Fig. 2) and then up into the smoke exit. The center plateM has a hinged section or damper M on its lower part with which a damper rod M2 engages, which passes rear' ward through an aperture m2in the back sected-to the ends of such tube, a similar cap orcaps O being used for the side openings. As an additional means for causinga complete heat radiation, and also to serve as an' ornamentation for the stove body, I provide 1i an independent crown piece P, detachably connected by means of bolts and lugs to the rings b b such crown piece extending the entire length of the body, its shape in cross section being substantially as shown in Fig. 2. By reference to the aforesaid ligure of the drawings it will be noticed that an additional nheat space p is formed on top of the stove body that collects the radiated heat from the said top, which discharges through the side apertures P in the crown piece. Centrally of such crown piece is a lateral smoke exit P2 which communicates with a smoke chamber P3 formed by the bottom plate P4 detachably connected to the top of the crown piece, the rear end of such chamber having a fine collar P5 which tits over the smoke exit A2. By leading the smoke into the chamber I3 an iadditional amount oi. radiated heat lis obtained and' collected within the crown cham- Iber. While for the reasons stated I prefer f to employ this crown piece it is manifest that its use may be dispensed-with and thesmoke pipe connected' with the exit A2 as shown in `dotted lines in Fig. 2. I also desire it u-n jderstood that without departing from the 'broad principle of my invention the several parts may be arranged for useas aLperpendicular stove. I Any kind of fuel can be used for generati ing the heat and when so desired a gasoline `or coal oil burner can be set on the grate.

k From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings the advantages 'and operation of my stove will be readily und'erstood. By arranging the several parts stated the same can be readily taken apart' or quickly assembled. Y

Having thus described' my invention, what' I claim, and desire to secu reb'y Letters Pat- ;ent,is
